opcode studio 4 Manual Do Utilizador

This message indicates that some infor-
mation may have been lost by the 
Macintosh serial port. Too much data is 
being transmitted too quickly to the Mac-
intosh. Try thinning the MIDI data stream 
being sent to the Mac. Refer to “Studio 4 
Loses Sync” in the “Sync Problems” sec-
tion for various ways to thin the MIDI 
data stream.

If thinning the data stream either doesn’t 
help or isn’t possible, and you're using 
Fast mode, you'll need to set a slower 
Studio 4->Macintosh communication 
speed. Lower the speed in single step 
increments until the problem disappears 
(see Chapter 5).

If the problem peripheral is connected 
directly to the Macintosh’s serial port, you 
should choose OMS MIDI Setup from 

the Edit menu, uncheck that port’s check 
box, and click OK.

If the problem peripheral is connected to 
the Studio 4, make sure the front panel 
THRU switch is set to the THRU position.

Make sure the power cord is firmly 
inserted into its connector, the power 
switch is on, and that the SMPTE/Power 
indicator light is lit.

Check all cables between your computer 
and the Studio 4, and between the 
Studio 4 and your tape deck.

Check the input level to your tape deck. 
Set levels as discussed in the “Guide To 
Setting SMPTE Levels” section in Chap-
ter 10.

Make sure that the heads on your tape 
deck are clean and that your are using a 
quality tape in good condition. Old or 
worn tape contains dropouts that may 
cause the Studio 4 to lose sync.
